Viewing the World from the Inside Out, June 29, 2007
This review is from: How to Read People Like a Book: 50 Uncommon Tips You Need to Know (Hardcover)
This book was not what I thought it would be. That was a pleasant surprise. I bought the book thinking it would be a self-help book about reading other people and characterizing them. It turns out, the book is more about self-evaluation - what you project outwards and what you allow in. "How to Read People..." is a thought-provoking book. It is short. Many of its chapters are short. The ideas presented are short. None of the means it is it is not meaningful or helpful, however. This is the type of book that can be read over and over. In fact, in the beginning of the book, it advises the reader to do so. Each reading will produce another revelation depending on the frame of mind the reader has at the time of the reading. The ideas and philosophy professed in the book are almost Eastern mysticism. The book teaches "wholeness" with the Universe and obeying the practice of being oneself by following one's true feelings. The book is very portable. It is a small hardcover. It can easily fit into a jacket pocket or purse.

Avid Reader, March 31, 2011
I have been an avid reader of this type of book for over twenty years. What I have found is that the books that have given me the most help are the ones most disliked by others, because they strike to close to home. This book is a perfect example of what I'm talking about, a lot of people have strong negative reactions to it. I must admit at first I let the nay sayers influence me, but i bought this special book and read it several times and each time I was more surprised than the last! Anyone who has an opportunity to read it and doesn't is deneying themselves a great resource. Read it several times-- you'll be glad you did. Some carp about its size -- which is why I love it so much. It's short and to the point and loaded with powerful help. Murray Oxman puts more in twenty pages than most authors put in One hundred, L. M. Hunt

National Bestseller, March 4, 2011
It's strange, the very things some people dislike about this book are the very things I like the most. Yes, this book is short and right to the point, hallelujah! It's written in everyday language and seems like it might be unimportant, but if a person really starts pondering the content, one realizes there's more here than meets the eye. I happen to know the publisher personally and I can tell you this book is a bestseller nationwide.
